Scientific evidence and constant training of the physician increase the quality of surgical practice. Keeping up to date is key to providing better care to our patients"

Reconstructive Plastic Surgery of the Thorax and Abdomen has undergone a spectacular development in recent years. This branch of Plastic Surgery deals with the maintenance of the integrity of the abdominal wall, guaranteeing the performance of normal activities in a natural way. However, if it were to be damaged, it would interfere with basic elementary functions, so its reconstruction should be focused on avoiding their collapse.

Due to the management of intra-abdominal contents, it is vital that the surgeon has knowledge of abdominal physiology in order to plan its repair, as well as the irrigation of the abdominal wall, which will allow the use of muscle and muscle-cutaneous flaps for the safe closure of defects.

Likewise, this postgraduate diploma will address the main pathologies that cause deterioration of the abdominal wall, as well as the main flaps for its repair, which even today remains one of the most complex areas to restore surgically.

In the same way, the reconstruction of the thorax will be approached by making a theoretical review of the surgical anatomy of the structures of the thoracic region, knowing that the recreation of the normal anatomy almost always involves recreating mainly the respiratory and protective function of the lungs, great vessels and heart, as well as, in the case of the female sex, the mammary glandular function.

Finally, the possible infections that can occur at the surgical site will be discussed in depth, as well as the risk factors involved, which can be divided into modifiable or non-modifiable (age, comorbidity, frailty, obesity, among others). Upon them, the surgeon can help through pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures to reduce the bacterial contamination of the surgical field to a level controllable by the body's defenses.

Everything through a 100% online training that makes it easier to combine studies with the rest of the daily activities in the surgeon's life. Thus, the doctor will only need an electronic device (Smartphone, Tablet, PC) with Internet connection to open up a wide horizon of knowledge that will allow him to position himself as a professional of reference in the sector.
